iReddit success, one spoon at a time

After hitting #1 on paid news apps, iReddit is working its way up the top 100 list. Currently sitting at #85, our alien has its eyes on dethroning Fish Tycoon, among others, on its push to the top.

And as proud as we are of our knock-off iPhone commercial, we know iReddit is where it is because of you. Thank you for continuing to support us, whether it’s just by visiting the site or downloading our app (and showing it off to all your covetous friends).

The 280north team built a splendid product and reviews are flooding in to confirm that:

Don’t tell the rest of the TUAW team — many of whom were clamoring to post about iReddit — but I’d never used reddit.com in any serious fashion until I got in on the iReddit beta. I’m now a frequent reader … at least on my iPhone. The app itself is much like the website in layout. It’s also elegant, responsive and heart-warmingly cute, the cuteness due in large part to the reddit mascot checking the time and tapping its toes while pages load. I’m quite serious when I say that it’s one of the best “loading screens” I’ve ever had the pleasure of using.

And if that’s not enough, we tested the awesomeness of you, the reddit community, by giving away a bobblehead to the first 5 redditors who emailed a photo of the following:

A spoon (any kind will do)

Fun fact: We have another bobblehead contest running right now that only requires 3 hamsters, 1 Richard Stallman, and a receipt from purchasing our 8-bit reddit alien shirt @ xkcd.

Well, we got a bunch of submissions. Not all of them could be bobblehead winners (non-bobbling consolation prizes have been awarded) but they’re all winners for such impressive acts of spoon. Behold!
